Description
The lighting chain is made up of serial-parallel connected, non-replaceable, miniature lamps (300 pcs according to the description on the package but in fact there are 301 pcs). The miniature lamps are red, yellow, green, and blue. The product can be operated by a flashing switch and control unit. M
Risk
null The product poses a risk of burns, electric shock because:- The cross-section area of the external wires is not sufficient and the wires could consequently overheat.- The wire ends soldered to the terminals of the control unit are not adequately protected against pulling and twisting and live metal parts could consequently become accessible.- The accessible wires have only basic insulation and they come into contact with the sharp edges of the flashing switch and control unit.- The dimensions of the plug are substantially less than required and therefore the user may touch the pin of the plug during connection.- The insulation resistance is not sufficient.The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
